Here are the new team rankings. I’m still using the same system, but have modified the results of the formula to reflect the number of games played. The result should be a more consistent figure, that can be compared from one team ranking list to another. I found it hard to compare the game 11 ranking to the game 40 rankings. It wasn’t consistent enough to be able to see if a team was improving, staying the same or getting better.

Here are a few examples. Dover’s last ranking was at 125.9, based on the new scale. This ranking they are at 113.1. While they are still leading, they have declined a small amount. Toronto has now made it up to #2 on the new list at 108.4. This is up from 68.3, based on the new scale. An example of a lower placed team shows St. Louis’ new ranking is at -84.5, down from -73.4.

As you will see in the coming rankings, the results are going to have more meaning as to whether a team is improving or not. Enjoy.

This is the Power Rankings for the 2016 after the first 11 games. I did it at 11 games for a couple of reasons. The first is just as a test for publishing purposes and the second is for entertainment purposes.

The totals in each of the first three columns indicate that teams position above or below the world average. For example, I take the world average in each category, for this example, hits will be used. At this posting, that total is 103, I then give each team a value above or below 103. Using St. Louis, the team has a total of 109 hits, they would receive a value of 6 (109-103). I then do this for all the hitting categories. At the end, I total all the pluses and minuses to get the hitting total. In this case St. Louis has a hitting total of 11.00. In short, this list shows each teams ability to produce above or below the world average. I do this for all the areas, Pitching and Fielding included. I finally add all three areas together to come up with the team total.
